Architect For Commercial Interiors

This office building space was completely empty: exposed underside of floor structure above, concrete slab floor, structural columns and the building’s exterior window wall. An Architect transformed this shell into a fully functioning, view-oriented workplace.

This interior is showing the Reception Area and Conference Rooms in the home page Office T.I. project. This photo is of the public space original interior design by Mr. Shaw.

Optimizing the beautiful ocean view from the entry into this Reception Area was an important aspect to incorporate into our space planning design, and it was achieved through careful planning by the Architect.

In order to achieve this, we located the two conference rooms and related interior glass walls on an angle that provided interest, reflected the geometry of the exterior glass wall, and also created a vast line-of-sight panorama and sense of open space while in this Reception Area; the same picturesque views are enjoyed while conducting business in the Conference rooms.

The interior design and color theme thus also reflects the environment with earth tones, an undulating plaster wall reminiscing the waves and high-grade creamy tan color textured commercial carpet, emulating the sand on the beach.

The hue of the sofa and chairs is symbolic of the terrain of the nearby mountains, while the artwork on the wall behind the desk reflects the dynamics of the nearby palms on the bluffs, waving from the sea breeze.

The materials have a Class A flame spread rating, ASTM E84 test grade, CAL 117 fabric compliance and Low Volatile Compound green building paints.

The founding Partner’s office was strategically located for full North, South, West views of the Santa Monica Bay, sound privacy (full height walls to the deck and an STC 50) and also has equidistant access to the other Partner’s offices, ensuring efficient circulation throughout the space as planned by the Architect.
